Nani wants dream Juve or Monaco switch with United willing to take £8m for wing king

Out-of-favour Manchester United winger Nani has his heart set on a move to Juventus or Monaco this summer.

The Portuguese international has suffered an inconsistent couple of seasons at Old Trafford and is not in manager David Moyes’s plans for the Barclays Premier League champions.

Nani has attracted interest from Galatasaray in Turkey and from clubs in his home country but has told friends in Portugal that he would prefer a move to Italy or France.

Juventus and Monaco both have an interest and have had informal talks with Nani’s representatives from Jorge Mendes’s Gestifute agency.

United, for their part, want in the region of £8million for the player.

Reports in Portugal suggested that United have a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with Benfica for Argentinian central defender Ezequiel Garay.

Sportsmail revealed United’s interest in the 26-year-old last winter but the club distanced themselves from the latest reports yesterday.

Meanwhile, former United midfielder Paul Scholes — who retired at the end of last season — is still waiting to be invited for talks about a coaching role at Old Trafford. The former England star is expected eventually to become part of United’s youth coaching set-up.
